I'm down there for the 4 days and I've currently got a feeling of unbridled joy because -
1. I'll be watching a red ball and cricketers in whites.
2. The weather forecast is excellent.
3. The game isn't at Old Trafford meaning I can sit where I want.
4. (Hopefully) Jimmy back in action along with Lyon.
5. There are a few decent boozers in Canterbury.
What can possibly go wrong?

It's Lancashire that's what could go wrong enjoy the trip |

Enjoy it John W. One of the few counties where I’ve never watched cricket. Missed an opportunity this year really ; we normally play there in Arctic conditions in early April or late Sep it seems to me.

Only been to Canterbury once, which was Neil Fairbrother's final game. He'd scored a first class century against every county except Kent, and he retired immediately after this final opportunity didn't materialise. There weren't many Lancs fans there but we tried to give him as rousing a send off as we could.
I think Jimmy played in that game as well. Don't expect any other of the players who played in that game will be playing next week!

On Monday. School's out day where 1650 schoolchildren from across the county will be given a free taste of County Championship cricket.
Cricket activities for juniors will be taking place all day with the Kent Cricket Community Team.
A Tea Time Talk for Kent & Lancashire Members will take place during the Tea break in the Chiesman Pavilion, about the history of Kent v Lancashire, and of course the match between the two sides in 1906 which became one of the most iconic paintings in our sport.
On Tuesday. The ‘Useless Pluckers’, a collection of musicians who play an entertaining mix of musical numbers and styles, will be playing throughout the day.

Silence re Bruce and Anderson. The Lancashire way!
It almost looks like a 2nd XI with one or two first teamers playing for a bit of practise. |

So is Luke Wood just a T20 player nowadays, or do our selectors/coach genuinely think Blatherwick will do a better job?

Further to my previous comment I’ve now seen on the website that Wood is having his workload managed.
Nothing about Anderson though, if he’s injured it surely isn’t by playing cricket. Wasn’t this meant to be one of his two final games for us, or is he intending to play after his final Test?
On another subject, is Croft’s contract for T20 only, or is he likely to play in the ODC as well?
